#004 Advanced Computer Vision – YOLO Object Detection

Highlights. Hello and welcome. In this post, we are going to talk about one of the most popular algorithms for object detection called the Yolo object detection algorithm.  We will cover the basic theory behind YOLO object detection [1], its benefits, and how this algorithm has evolved over the last couple of years. Finally, we will examine some real-life applications of YOLO object detection, more specifically, we will explain how to use YOLO for detecting…

#014 3D Face Modeling – Understanding primitives and transformations for image formation (Version A)

Highlights: Hello and welcome to our new post. In this lecture, we will continue gaining a good understanding of the image formation process. In particular, we are going to talk about how we can project a 3D scene onto a 2D image. We will introduce basic primitives and transformations in conventional but also in so-called homogeneous coordinates which play a fundamental role in describing objects and projections in 3D computer vision. Once we have an…

#012 3D Face Modeling – Pinhole Camera and Perspective Projection

Highlights: Hello, and welcome. In this post, we’re going to talk about how to form an image from a 3D scene onto a 2D plane. We will start with a concept of a pinhole camera which is one of the most important concepts in computer vision. It is the simplest type of camera that you can imagine and it performs perspective projection. In this post, we are going to review the YouTube video “Pinhole and…

#008 3D Face Modeling – How to Construct a Parametric Face Model?

Highlights: Hello and welcome. In this post, we are going to learn how to construct a parametric face model. We will review famous parametric face model papers that are extremely popular and impactful to this day. The ideas covered in these works encouraged further development of the parametric face models. So, let’s begin with our post. In this post, we are going to review the YouTube video “3D Scanning & Motion Capture: 8. Parametric Face…

#009 3D Face Modeling – Face Tracking and Reconstruction

Highlights: Hello and welcome. Today we will continue our series of posts about 3D face modeling. In this post, we are going to talk about parametric face model tracking and reconstruction. In the previous posts, we talked about how to create a parametric face model. Now, let’s talk about what we can do once a face model is created. More specifically, how can we reconstruct a face from an image into a 3D form (3D…
